Summary
"My boyfriend!" Rin's voice squeaked an octave higher. Haruka's English was, admittedly, not so great, but he's been working on it, so he understood full well what Rin referred to him as. Haruka saw Rin's... acquaintance face fall and could basically see his heart breaking in 740p.
"Really?" He breathed out.
"Yup! High school sweethearts and all that jazz." Rin lied a little too easily.
Brent turned to Haru again, his expression filled with melancholy and jealousy.
"You're really Rin's boyfriend?"
Haruka sighed and had to dig through his brain for his mental English dictionary and answered, "Yes. That is correct. Rin is my boyfriend and I am Rin's."

Summary
Haruka was settled professionally in front of the piano, a microphone in front of him. He looked elegant and like he belonged there. He positioned his fingers, hovering over the ivory keys and took a deep breath. The first chords of the piano sliced through the thick silence so cleanly, so gracefully and Rin couldn’t help but gasp. And then… and then Haruka sang his first note and the air was completely knocked out of Rin. He now knew why Haruka had chosen a mask that didn’t cover his mouth and his earlier skeptics were washed away like it never existed in the first place. Rin stood there, entranced by the way the singer’s lips were moving and the way his voice danced around the ballroom, owning the place. Rin’s mask covers his left side, curving around his mouth, leaving it uncovered, making anyone around him gape at the man performing.

Summary
Rin thinks it's ridiculous of him to fall in love with an "imaginary friend" and thought about how pathetic and lonely it is for him to feel that way.
Regardless, everything with Haru felt a little too real.

Summary
“You’re still an idiot, Haru. You knew you had an umbrella.” Rin teased, his tone lovestruck.
“And you still took care of me, which also makes you an idiot. How will I learn my lesson, Rin?” The other bites back.
“Why are you like this?”
“You love me like this.”
“Yeah, I do.”

Summary
It isn’t often that they take the time and reflect on the past few years, too preoccupied with the present and future to just lay back and reminisce. But it’s not like they have to either. Their journey is a long one, both in their careers and in themselves. They just knew how far they’ve come and would remind each other in subtle ways throughout the day. Be it a simple note left on the fridge, a simple gesture after a long day, a random text about something that reminded them of the other. Their lives were intertwined and walked the same path despite the difference in their natures. But it worked, they made it work.

Summary
“It’s nice here, isn’t it?” His mother asks. He shrugs.
“I heard they have good mackerel.” His father comments, which almost made Haruka engage in conversation. But before he could complete his breath, the same hostess came up to their booth announcing the arrival of the rest of their party. She moved the curtain aside, making way for their new guests.
Haruka looks up and he forgets to breathe.

Summary
There was a moment of silence and disbelief before the crowd roars in praise, shouting their pride for their respective countries. Rin and Haru have had their fair share of excitable crowds and fans, but this was something else entirely. Being on the other side of things gave them a new sort of motivation. They felt like they were out of breath; like they themselves were on the court. Tears pricked at Rin’s eyes and he felt Haru’s hand slip in his, squeezing it reassuringly. Japan has won gold in men’s volleyball and the two swimmers’ inspired flame burns brighter than ever, growing into something the Olympic pool can’t extinguish. They want to accomplish that for their sport too. To conquer the world with what they love with the people they love, making the dreams they made come true. Rin looks over at his husband and finds him looking back. They give each other a knowing smile and squeeze the hand they held.
We’ll get there too
